2014 Tesla Model S Electricity · RO64 UVH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test in December 2024 at 105,228 miles passed with an advisory for a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. This follows a significant failure in May 2024 where multiple issues were flagged, including an inoperable rear door and critical tyre-related faults. While the car has passed its latest inspection, the appearance of suspension wear indicates that components are beginning to reach their service limit. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year over its 12-year lifespan. There is a notable period of high activity between March 2022 at 42,297 miles and April 2023 at 69,759 miles, representing over 27,000 miles driven in a single year. Since the May 2024 failure, the car has covered roughly 28,500 miles in the last 18 months. This sustained rate of travel puts consistent stress on rubber bushings and suspension assemblies, which explains the recent advisory regarding the front arm. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the nearside front suspension to assess the extent of the worn bush movement before it leads to a mechanical failure. The May 2024 failure regarding the nearside rear door mechanism suggests that electronic or mechanical actuators may be temperamental, which should be tested for full operation. Given the previous failures with the tyre pressure monitoring system and damaged tyres, the buyer should verify the system is fully functional and check the current tyres for uneven wear or sidewall damage that might indicate alignment issues or previous neglect.
